Yahoo! -> MSN?

I spotted the headline that Microsoft is offering buy Yahoo! up, and just about sprayed my monitor with coffee.

Yahoo!, as a company has been caught in the middle for quite some time - sandwiched between Microsoft (anybody else remember just how badly M$ screwed up what used to be Hotmail?) and Google, and not really making any headway on either front.

Somehow, I suspect that spending $44.6 billion to acquire Yahoo will simply enlarge the already bloated and less than functional MSN media group - and produce little of any real value to the user community.

No argument from me where MSN is concerned, unfortunately this is a typical move on the part of a large corporation to play the 'move the money' game, acquire another poison pill and strip Yahoo of any real assets and dump the leftovers onto the streets.
